This is the biggest reason I never entered education. Black families (as a group) don't care about education.
This was also an issue with Cajuns back in the day. As a kid of the 50s I knew very few older folks who graduated HS. The tradition stemmed from job opportunities that didn't require education. The men could find work in fishing, farming, construction and oil fields.
The women worked in the home or as waitresses or telephone operators. There was no rotary dial till 1952 so even local calls needed an operator who didn't need a HS diploma.
New Iberia was offered SLI (later USL and now ULL) and the city turned it down. So, it was built in Lafayette.
